Abstract
A gas sensor includes a sensor element having one end portion exposed to gas to be measured. A plurality of electrodes are provided on the other end portion of the sensor element. A plurality of terminal contacts are resiliently held in electrical contact with the electrodes, respectively, in such a manner that the terminal contacts hold the other end portion of the sensor element therebetween. The electrodes are so provided on the sensor element that the terminal contacts abut against the electrodes to prevent the sensor element from being moved axially and laterally.
